18 years of blessing. Hip hop saved my life.

Confused

I can’t seem to grasp the sacredness of a blog that so many of my friends seem to indulge in.

Isn’t the point of a blog to let your thoughts run free and paint the webpage with words and pictures that best describe your feelings at the moment?

After spending 30 min writing out my thoughts about my past year, I ended up deleting the blog after I finished because no matter how many of those thoughts irate me, I couldn’t bear letting them be available to the general public to view. Yes, there’s privacy settings.. but I don’t blog enough to customize those. Therefore, I assume I just can’t grasp the purpose and sacredness of a blog since I’m unable to share my thoughts with just everyone. It feels too weird to know that my parts of my privacy will be exposed. In addition.. it’s just awkward to see someone you know in passing and know that they read your blog yet never touch upon the subject in person because neither of you wants to refer back to a stupid blog when in reality, you should’ve just known each other better in PERSON so that you didn’t learn about that person through the damn internet.

Eric started a blog for me and him to write in.. which I thought would be a cute experience. But when he started playing the “30 day challenge” game in which you reveal certain details about your life, I told him I didn’t want to write in the blog anymore. not that I really started much at all. I explained that I can’t have my privacy just hanging out there for anyone to read. If someone wants to know me, I want them to make the effort to get to know me in person, face-to-face, with no screen to hide behind. Plus, the internet doesn’t do friendships justice. He told me I was being silly and that I didn’t have to be so serious about what I wrote on Tumblr. I suppose that’s a good point, but it still makes me feel too uncomfortable to allow everyone to invade my thoughts when in reality, they don’t know me well at all.

Perhaps I’m not suited to fit the blogger personality the way I used to back in middle school.

I just keep telling myself.. I have to really make it right in my head because there won’t be anyone else around to do it for me.

I have to make sure I keep this completely professional, no conflict of interest, and definitely to isolate my personal emotions from the situation =\ it’s not fair to anyone for me to act in any other manner.

It’s just hard to have to face this shit head on.. that is if it even escalates to that extent.

Life is so damn cruel.

1 year since you sent me that text message.

1 year since you broke my heart.

1 year since I’ve last cried over a boy.

1 year since I’ve stopped believing and hoping.

Maybe things haven’t been the same since then.. but I’m better for it.

I bet you didn’t think I’d remember the date.

Went on a food rampage yesterday for lunch and dinner. I didn’t get to take a picture of my sushi but man I feel like I ate my weight in food yesterday.

This is just a picture of the best brownie I’ve had. It’s a 7 layer brownie from Twisted Fork - a local restaurant in Raleigh. The other brownie, gooey caramel, was mediocre compared to the 7 layer brownie. om nom nom nom nom.. now I want to go back for more!
